Books soon become monOtOnous to
the child, while the newspaper is

There seems one very desirable citi-
zen in Fairmont and the News of that
place tells about him. There are
many such men in Morris. If any
one having the time and the dis
position, will make Il list that VIII
comprise the names of them all we
will be glad to publish the result of
their labor. Here is what the news
say: "rhere is man in Fairmont,
very quiet, makes little stir, attracts
little attention, minds his business,
Zoe every duty well ana nine out of
Ell people if asked who would be
most missed In Fairmont, would
never think of mentioning him. aud
still, were he to be suddenly taken
away, we believe lie would be as
much missed as any man in the viii
lage. He is always busy, always
prompt, and always punctual and
thoroughly honest"
The fine weather of this Fall has
been of great benefit to all classes of
people, especially to those in the
drouth afflicted districts to the south
and east of us who are short of feed
tor their stock. The Pine Island
Journal says: "a year ago now
cattle had to be fed as well as in the
dead of winter, but then there was
plenty of feed; but now, feed of all
Kind is scarce and cattle are still
getting their living-or nearly so.
Farmers tell us that one light feed
per day Is all that is necessary. Every
day that that this weather continues
is worth many dollars to this com
and will help out wonderful
Iy in the spring. With an early |
break up in the spring, many who |
are short now will find plenty and to
spare. They are acting the prudent
now, however, and
on to what they have in the
shape of food; or disposing Of some at
high figures"

Mothers, when your children come
aud hang around your chair, casting
glances at you, what do you
say? Do you stoop and kiss them,
aud offer some pleasant word, or do
say Ego way and don't bother me |
now?" Do you take the little boys |
on your knee, and encourage their
youthful ambition in the future, or do
ou tell them that they are "worth-
less brats," and will bring up in the |
penitentiary anyway? Many q
young man has sought companion
ship in wrong doing because OF the |
lack of interest manifested III his
welfare at home. Many q girl has
forfeited all right to society and re-
spect through the want of proper
motherly instruction at home. Start
them right, encourage them in well
doing, plead with them and wildly
illustrate the terrible consequence o.
those who take the downward path,
likewise paint in beautiful colors the
peace, prosperity and happiness that
follows an upright life.-Montevideo
Leader.
The Red Wing Republican hits the
nail squarely on the head in the fol-
lowing: "Retail merchants in every
part of tho United States are suffering
under the heavy burden of the credit
system as at present conducted.
Failures are occurring weekly of good
merchants whose only cause of dis
aster can lie directly attributed to
Wholesale reckless credit extended to
consumers. The same principle i'm
vogue by the other business interests
of this country would precipitate
panic in sixty days such as this coun-
try has never witnessed, It goes
without denial, that some credit must
be extended, the volume Of money in
circulation being too small with
which to do strictly cash business,
but there is no excuse for absolute
recklessness in the distribution Of the
credit favor. Persons who must
have and demand credit for the ne
cessities of the life in particular,
should be explicitly taught that the
extension Of credit shall be granted
only upon the understanding that
CREDIT is valuable thing and carries
with 1t the demand for prompt settle
